In my case it is the first time I will have built a PC (long time Mac user) so I don't know what I'm doing! I'm willing to tinker but wanted something with a factory OC to give me the best performance out of the box while I learn some new skills.
I'm still learning some of the finer points of this stuff. Should probably just keep my mouth shutHahahaha.

You made the same assumption a lot of people do. Blame marketing!I'm still learning some of the finer points of this stuff. Should probably just keep my mouth shut

Wonder if my EVGA 750W will be ok....don't really want to spend more cash...
Unlikely if you are planning on pushing the card.

No one stressing these cards with benchmarks is reporting total system draw larger than 650w. I think you’ll be fine, 850w would be safer, but you’ll be okay. If you’re ordering a Strix OC, though, and planning to turn it up to 480w, you will be cutting it fine at that point. Leaving the power draw alone in the BIOS and you’ll be okay.
As long as you don't change anything out the box you should be good
I bought an 850W PSU on the same order because something tells me the off brand 700W one I have won't cut the mustard. Also it's ugly as sin, doesn't match my colour scheme, whines under load and is only semi-modular. Was due replacing anyway
You have to consider headroom for any future upgrade also running psu near peak will result in psu fan to ramp up which adds more noise and heat so ultimately it really boils down to what components you have and what their power draw is.

I should find out in a month or 2.
It is made by Flower and it's got SLI cables...but lets see

I always read this link to see who really made the power supply

I can get a EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3(SUPER FLOWER Leadex II Gold) for £180
Not going to buy it unless I need to.
GameMax GM-700
Not even on the list and I've never even heard of them. I bought it years ago when my previous PSU died the day before a WoW expansion launch and I managed to invalidate the warranty thinking it would be an easy fix. Ran to the nearest PC shop, grabbed the cheapest PSU they had and rushed back home
Oh joy, as someone who (due to issues accessing sites, wanting an FE instead of an AIB, and then even more site issues) wasn't able to place an order until the evening of launch day, this is... unforunate. Guess I need to ramp up my F5'ing of nvidias site and cross my fingers
This. I had assumed everybody else would be sensible on OCUK and they would all be buying the none OC version so I stumped up the extra to be higher on the list. Wrong.
You bought the only card which can pull 480W without a power shunt and you have a 750W psu? lmao. I was wondering whether mine (Corsair AX1500i PSU) would be up to the job!
Not wise to run your PSU over 75% of it's rated capacity IMO.
Depends what else you are running. My cpu draws and extra 557W on its own when at 100% use. System is 101W at idle. Add in a tasty overclock on water on the strix 3090 and I am at 1148W. .
